Determination of crystallinity of polyester polyols by differential scanning calorimetry
摘要
The glass transition, crystallization, and melting behaviors of various crystallizable polyester polyols were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry. Samples with different crystallinity were prepared by manipulating the cooling rate, isothermal crystallization, and blending semi-crystalline with amorphous polymers. The melting enthalpy for fully crystalline polyester polyols (ΔHf (100%)) and the heat capacity change at glass transition for fully amorphous polyester polyols (ΔCp (100%)) of different polyester polyols were determined using extrapolation methods. Based on the melting enthalpy (ΔHm) of different polyester polyols, the crystallinity of different polyester polyols after storage at room temperature for 3 months were calculated.
